KXAN Weather for Negative User Reviews
✓ Gets worse with every “update”It used to be simple to name a custom location like “home”, and the app would reliably provide the forecast for that general area. Now, more often than not, I get the message that the app is not available for my particular location. Annoying..Version: 5.0.803
✓ Too many notificationsThe actual app is worthless with ads when I can get the info easily without ads elsewhere. I used to like the notifications of warnings but now every time it storms I get 6 notifications that I'm under a watch with absolutely no updates. Full on boy who cried wolf situation..Version: 5.7.300
✓ Can’t play video errorSince I first downloaded this app it tells me that there is a new alert and I try to watch it and the moment it comes up it states that it can’t play video error. Why have the app if it doesn’t play the video. Everything else works and I’m up to date on IOS. No other apps have issues but this one......Version: 5.0.400
✓ Bigger screen optionI the past I was able to click on a video or weather forecast and the information would appear in a big screen. Now I have to find glasses to see the weather. Please make it easier to see full screen..Version: 5.5.702
✓ Negative 1 star is more like itI would be more than happy to pay money for a decent weather app. I have at least 20$ invested in weather radar pro. KXAN app is buggy and stops short of malware...for NOW. Adverts go way beyond annoying to near infuriating. Theres nothing worse than having video ads co-opting your ap when you're trying to see if there is a tornado about to wipe you out. Wake up KXAN. Just FYI. The free weather radar pro pulls all the local TV weather radars together plus noaa/faa/nhc/usgc warnings and updates. Free version contains minimal ads, 1000x less than KXAN ap, and at least gives you options to remove via nominal purchase. I have licensed the aviation weather layers which are perfect for pilots. All notams and faa conditions etc.. This is not an ad for WRP but I've been soooo frustrated with weather aps especially kxan..Version: 4.4.1000
✓ Radar no longer playsI hope this is just a bug. The radar for tracking storm paths no longer has the play button and it just shows the last snapshot. Please bring back the map in motion feature..Version: 4.6.400
✓ UnreliableLove the KXAN meteorologists, but this app rarely has correct temp forecasting. It doesn’t even mirror what is being show on KXAN. Its fine for giving current conditions, but that’s about all. The other night, I pulled op the app and it correctly showed current temp at 26 degrees, but the hourly forecast still showed the low as 31. The Weather Channel app is far better at temp predictions..Version: 5.4.803
✓ STOP THE ADS OR I'LL DELETE THE APPYou've ruined a fantastic app. Last year, there were no ads... Then, there were ads to watch KXAN (which I'm doing by using the app)... Now, there are crappy ads for other things that block out the content that start without warning and interrupt the usage. NEWS FLASH: when I need "first WARNING" information, I don't need ads FIRST. I'm waiting 1 week for KXAN to get a clue before moving to a new station and deleting the app..Version: 4.4.1000
✓ I’d give it a higher rating…But what the heck is with these ads that pop up during a weather cast???!!! Never happened before. I can see an ad while you go a different section, but during a weather cast?? Fix this or you’ll get a 1 star and trash your app everywhere..Version: 5.3.901
✓ Where did the videos go?Many of us rely on the forecast videos as we cant always catch the news on tv. Ive reported missing videos so many times Ive lost track. Do you actually read your reviews??? Stop promoting your app until you can consistently provide a good product. You have lost a user and a viewer..Version: 4.7.401
✓ Used to love this app-until nowLately, I have been getting pop up ads that cover the entire page! Even when I click to close one, the same ad pops up again. Just now I tried to read a special weather statement and never got through. At least seven different ads popped up in one minute!! Fix this KXAN, please!.Version: 4.5.1801
✓ Terrible pop upsLike others have said - This app used to be so useful but now I have to delete it. Every single time I go to open it I get pop up ads that are SO loud it’s ridiculous (especially when it’s night and I want to check how bad a storm is). If you get rid of the pop ups I’d love to use it again..Version: 5.0.902
✓ UpdatedUse to live this radar!! Used it from work all the time but since the update 2 days ago, it no longer has the option to put radar in motion for future!! Will have to look for another app!! So disappointed!!.Version: 4.6.400
✓ App only works 1 in 10 times openedThis app has never worked properly since its initial download. I have the iPhone 10 and all software updates on both my phone and the app. Every time I get a notification I try to open it and it’s either a black screen or it’s the KXAN Weather background screen and never loads to the notification or weather map. I’ll stick with my Storm Radar App, never had an issue..Version: 4.7.907
✓ KXAN not accurate on weather anymoreGood app, functions like you’d expect. Just one thing - Since Jim Spencer left KXAN can’t even remotely come close to that’s going to happen with storms, when rain will hit, severity of the storm, duration of the storm. I use to be able to plan my day around what they said would happen, not anymore..Version: 5.8.501
✓ Tired of alerts....This app is only ok. I am a little tired of Jim Spencer's voice telling me lightning has been detected in my area.....only I'm in Hawaii right now and it is clear weather (but awful in Austin). I cannot fix this, tried location services and everything else I can think of..Version: 4.4.1000
✓ Not a fanDon’t like the new updates with the satellite views. They are hard to view - all three. Also the earthquakes don’t give location after this latest update. Add that back! The past/future radar is a good improvement. Don’t fix what isn’t broken!.Version: 4.8.600
✓ This WAS my favorite app...Love/hate has progressed to just hate with the new edition of (approx.) May 2019. The annoyance of the app not respecting the portrait/landscape current position (which it did at one time) just required a restart of the app. But the “new, improved” radar page is abominable, and will force me to move on. Where the prior iteration radar page showed clickable watch/warning areas only when the animation was stopped, this version shows non-clickable areas all the time, totally obscuring the radar data beneath them. Surely Jim Spencer had no say in that, since it renders the radar data useless. The underlying map data is ugly compared to before... and if you click on an alert for your area, it brings you to a radar view of the roof of your HOUSE... decidedly less useful than the neighborhood view of before, so you’ll be “pinching” the screen over and over to get a useable view. This is the equivalent of switching from Google Earth to Apple Maps in the early days..Version: 4.8.600
✓ I used to love this appWhat’s up with the super annoying pop up ads? Every time I launch the app now (as of June 2019) I get a pop up add, have to close it, then can use the menu/click on weather info. This is especially frustrating when there is bad weather and I have to close an ad first. Did I mention the “x” close feature doesn’t always work and I end up being transferred to the ad’s website? Needless to say, I’ve deleted this app. Maybe I’ll try it again in a few months..Version: 4.8.902
✓ Radar Map and Alerts do not work reliablyThe map intermittently freezes, area wide weather alerts as well as other data vanish, and now I'm receiving audio alerts for non existent weather conditions. I've reinstalled the App., everything has been updated to latest version, and set to my location. My other Apps are working fine. The App used to work great, but for several months it has been glitching out.I have reported these issues to KXAN, but nothing has been fixed. Apple should probably remove this App. because inaccurate weather information could have deadly consequences..Version: 5.0.801
✓ New feature: CommercialsThis app is just one problem after another. I did, however, like to see an actual person give the local weather forecast. Now, there is a new feature added before every video, called forced to watch commercials. This is just a slight irritation, because the commercials load up and play just fine. Where it gets extremely irritating, is that after being forced to watch the commercials, the actual video that I want to watch, doesn’t load and play. I have tried to check other videos and reloading the videos over and over again. It turns out, I just get to watch 20 commercials in a row, and never the weather forecast. This app is now officially useless. I am deleting this app, because I have much better things to do in life besides watch commercials..Version: 5.5.702
✓ Radar not workingWas in the middle of a tornado watch when I noticed they removed the live weather radar. The sole reason I was keeping this app. I checked over the “help” options, but I just couldn’t figure it out… because… you know… I was under a tornado watch… The advice I did see was the equivalent to asking if I I “unplugged the app” from the WiFi. … which, is also pretty silly considering emergency situations- such as a tornado- might have my WiFi off. If they get the live radar back on (or explain how I might have accidentally turned it off): I might change my rating. Either way: switching apps..Version: 5.7.300
✓ Terrible appIt ( once again) woke me up early (5:55 am) saying ‘there is precipitation in your area,’ Unless there is SEVERE weather coming, I don’t think I should hear that rain, lightening & other weather conditions are ‘in my area.’ Have not figured out to stop that but will delete entire app- once I’ve had my coffee!!.Version: 5.3.901
✓ Volume setting for voice announcementsIs it just me not finding the setting or can you not adjust the volume on the voice alerts? Drives me nuts because no matter what volume I have the phone and everything else set to...the darn voice announcements are always full volume..Version: 4.8.900
✓ Not made for anyone ruralWe love super rural and when the weather gets bad, service gets bad. I’m so annoyed that any information is in video form now. I can see we are in a tornado warning, but no information on counties affected or timing unless I watch a video that won’t load. Just write something up so those of us not on 5G can see what’s going on too. Deleting app and getting my information somewhere else..Version: 4.10.2100
✓ Great until it isn’t.This app worked well for years. Lately it works for a few days then it freezes on the opening image. If I delete it and download it again, it works for a few days and then it freezes on the opening image. Repeat..Version: 4.10.2100
✓ No sound in VideosIn general I like the app. Have had it for a long time but today I tried to view a video and I had no sound. My sound on my iPhone 7+ was on and I cranked it to the loudest level but nothing..Version: 5.4.803
✓ Videos not workingThe in app videos are not working. Please fix the issue. I rely on this app and videos as an important and usually reliable way to stay on top of weather. However of late when I click on any video the commercial is the only thing that plays. I have updated the app as well as deleted and reloaded. Appreciate you fixing it. Thank you.Version: 5.4.803
✓ App needs tweakingNot happy with the newest alerts from the app. This makes the app like the boy who cried wolf with random alerts not relating to imminent/severe weather. Plus the tone is annoying compared to the useful announcement of the unmistakable Jim Spencer’s voice. That’s my main gripe, however having ads play when trying to watch a severe weather warning video i s clearly much more of an issue, especially when the warning is about a tornado touching down. Also a link to the live broadcast in the sidebar of the app should be added for the same reasoning, and as a redundancy. Don’t forget this app is supposed to help save lives, if it’s too annoying when there’s no bad weather people are going to have the notifications off or delete the app when it’s need most..Version: 5.5.702
✓ Used to work fineThe app used to work fine up until 2 weeks ago. Now the app runs constantly in the background and drains my battery. Tried to close out of the app, delete and reinstall. It seems to happen when you watch a video. Something gets stuck like an advertisement..Version: 5.0.801
✓ Very naggyThe app needs some fine tuning. Even though I have on location it shows warnings and weather nowhere near me. And whenever a thunderstorm comes in it floods me with so many notifications I end up turning notifications off. And almost everytime I go in to check the update/map, I see most often that the warnings are irrelevant to the area I’m in. Look, I don’t need 10 x severe thunderstorm warning notifications in 30 minutes. One is enough....Version: 5.3.400
✓ Too many notifications, always too late.This app shot out 42 notifications in the span of less than an hour. IF there’s a severe thunderstorm and it knocked our power out, my phone shouldn’t be spammed with all these notifications to kill the battery life. Even if there weren’t a notification every other minute, they still come well past the point when the weather it’s meant to warn about is already observable to anybody that still has their eyes and ears..Version: 5.3.400
